The mere fact your asking question on GPRS to other people means you can understand how GPRS works or how it will generate revenue and the what the risk involves. One tip: If you can't comprehend the business model and didn't explain and understood the risk. Don't invest

Around two years ago, a friend of mine invited me for a talk about GPRS. The ending was I didn't join and invest because I don't believe that I have a big market for the products.

As time passed by, I notice that there are more and more GPRS outlets opening up in Metro Manila. Even here in Davao City where I currently live, I see GPRS outlets.

Last December I bought an airline ticket from Tiger Air. My credit card was maxed out so I was not able to use it to settle the payment. On the tigerair website, there's an option to pay at any GPRS outlet. I chose that option and went to the nearest outlet. Unfortunately they couldn't accommodate the business I was gonna give them. The teller said that he doesn't have Tiger Air on the drop down list of the system that they are using. He said that perhaps their contract with Tiger has already ended. To cut the long story short, I wasted my time going there and had to book another flight and just chose the option to pay at Cebuana Lhuillier. Went to Cebuana and paying the bill was smooth as a newly waxed floor. Lost confidence in GPRS eversince.

I don't think GPRS or UPS is a scam. Let's first focus on which earning platform you are planning to work out.

Are you going to train people to become marketers of UPS?Are you going to recruit people to join you in your income opportunity?Are you going to put up an outlet to take advantage of the services they offer?

If you are going to put up an outlet, then you will get a chance to receive passive income through traditional business, if there are a lot of people in need of their service in your area. There are some customers who got disappointed about their ticketing service just like one of the posters here but in terms of bill payments and other services, they have no problem.

If you're going to recruit people to join your income opportunity, then you're promoting a pyramid scheme. You should avoid having this purpose because it will surely not end well for you and for the other people you recruit.

If you are going to train people to market the products and services of UPS, then I believe that you can earn a lot through this venture just make sure that you are not just recruiting them but actually training them to sell UPS' products and services.

If we use DSAP's 8 point checklist, I think that UPS fails in the 4th item here:

4. Is there no direct correlation between the number of recruits and compensation?They have outright direct referral commission and pairing bonus due to recruitment.

This does not mean that UPS is a pyramid scheme. It's just one of the tests done to see if a company has a probability becoming a pyramid scheme or not.

All in all, I think UPS is a safe option for business and potential passive income generator as long as you will take advantage of their products and services, and not focus on the earning opportunity given by the company.
